Preparation of Magnetic Coal-measure Kaolinite Nanomaterials and Adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) by Yuqi ZHAO, Suling YAO, Xianshu DONG, Ruifeng GUO, Yuping FAN

“…On this basis, the magnetic coal-measure kaolinite nanomaterials (MCKN) were prepared by chemical precipitation method, and the physical and chemical properties of MCKN were analyzed by XRD, SEM, BET, etc, and the different quality the ratio (m(Fe3O4)：m(CKN)=1: 3, 1: 4, 1: 5, 1: 6, 1: 7) MCKN adsorption of Cr (Ⅵ) behavior was discussed. The results show that MCKN with a mass ratio of Fe3O4 to CKN of 1:5 has the best adsorption effect on Cr(Ⅵ), MCKN has a good magnetic separation effect, and the adsorption rate of Cr(Ⅵ) can still be maintained after the fifth adsorption and desorption above 87%. …”
